Over in South Korea, where mobile data usage is quite common, prosecutors will now be able to send legal notices, such as indictments, by text message. It's not quite as bad as it may sound -- as anyone receiving them would first have to sign up to receive legal notices that way. However, since SMS still isn't completely reliable, you have to wonder how they're going to guarantee that these notices are properly delivered.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Um... I think that people that would sign up for this service would be a bit more attentive than that.

    But I could be wrong!
